I’ve been thinking about how to handle a recurring workflow we have: research a topic, compile relevant information, and generate a well-structured report. Right now, it’s mostly manual, and I’m looking at ways to automate parts of it.
I keep hearing about autonomous AI teams—like, different agents handling different roles in a workflow. Latenode mentions this with things like Researcher, Retriever, and Responder agents working together. I’m intrigued, but I want to understand how this actually differs from just chaining a bunch of steps together in a single workflow.
Specifically, I’m curious:
- How do you define what each agent does and how they communicate?
- Does building an autonomous team require coding, or can you do it visually?
- Has anyone actually used this for something like content research and generation? What was the experience like?
I’m trying to figure out if this is the right approach for our use case or if I’m overcomplicating things.
